Herb sink

I had a sink leftover from the bathroom renovations and a few months ago I decided that I was going to use the sink as a planter pot (my mother in law is also renovating and has another sink for me to fill). I filled the sink with potting mix and planted some thyme I had, some parsley and marjoram I got from mum’s garden. I’m very much into my container gardening at the moment. I now have planters all over the place. I have six washing machine planters (a friend had three old ones in her garden that she didn’t want so I inherited them) full of tomatoes, potatoes and yams. I have four hanging baskets; one with tomatoes in it and three with strawberries that now have tiny flowers on them! Another friend has moved house so gave me all her old ceramic containers so I’ve filled them with more herbs (some I bought and some I get from cuttings from mum’s house). I’m loving my garden and my container plants.
